Prototyping part 2: Design strategy

- [Instructor] In this next prototyping lesson…we begin our discussion by first talking…about design features and strategies.…But I'm going to use the term do's and don'ts.…If you model cleanly and accurately,…you'll end up with very few,…or even zero, prototyping problems.…But, too many beginners will create…unnecessarily complicated geometry…that is fast and easy to create,…but then they spend way more time fixing…and swearing and kicking things at the end of the process.…This is where good modeling practice…can really make a huge difference.…

So I do realize we have a long list here,…which tend to be kind of boring,…so I'm going to zoom in whenever possible…at some specific examples.…So let's start off with the don'ts.…And this very first one here is sharp points or edges.…So, the penguin is actually in pretty good shape, but,…so we're going to focus on this little temporary thing here.…So you'll notice this top edge,…and I can pick the inside surface there…and have it highlight, it ends with a very razor sharp edge.…
